Market Day

On wednesday Panmure Bridge School had an event called Market Day, LS2 had created Friendship bracelets and also had created harakeke Aniwaniwa glitter fish. All students had an opportunity to work collaboratively and used their creativity to create their product to sell to students. All classes had a variety of things to sell at their stall.

Before students had to sell their products we needed to use our skills and our creativity to plan what we needed to do before selling our product. We needed to go through a process to design, create, market (posters) and sell. We needed to design and gather ideas for what we would like to sell. Our idea was to weave a simple fish out of harakeke, but we wanted to sell more products for people to buy. 

Our class organised our stall infront of the hall on the deck and displayed all of our products that we want to sell. The Market Day had started our stall was  popular, it was filled with fun colours and glitter. As we finished our preparation, we helped set up some of the other stalls. Once we completed helping all of the stalls, every stalls were looking ready and up for presenting.

A few of our class had to sell our products, as the rest of the class uses their 5 tokens to buy some of the others classes stalls.

 

 

 

 

Diya Creating

LI: To follow the instructions to make your own origami diya (diva lamp).

The photo above shows my origami diya (diva lamp). Our first challenge was to watch the video that shows how to fold an origami diya (diva lamp). Before we could start we needed to use a ruler to measure a 20cm square piece of paper to make our own origami square. I found it hard to figure out the right mesurement to get the right 20cm square paper.

I found this activity challenging because it was hard to follow the right instructions to make a oragim diya. 

Celebrating Diwali

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find out what Diwali is and how people celebrate around the world.

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that tells others what Diwali is and how people celebrate around the world. Something I found interesting was how they celebrated the Diwali day, but then I noticed the saying “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance” so then I realised that they usally decorate there house into bright colours and they light fireworks into the sky, also light candles in there houses to welcome goodluck.

I found this activity fun and intresting because I got to learn more about the Diwali Celebration.

Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find the story behind this picture.

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that shows where this lighthouse is and what the story is behind the image. We found out that the Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument is a lighthouse in france that had a accident with the waves crashing to the Lighthouse. Theodore Malgorn heard a sound of a helicopter and made it distinct that the waves to the helicopter. To show he needed help and to be rescued. He then realized the helicopter was taking dramatic images. And crashing against the rocks of the lighthouse. So he ran inside the Lighthouse just before the waves were about to crash down to the lighthouse.

I found this activity fun and collaborative because I learn more about the lighthouse and the history and facts behind it.

Inchcape Rock

LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem. 

The waves were moving gently so the ship was still. No sound just a inchcape rock with a bell on top. On a buoy in The storm it floated and swung. The bell warned them to stay away from the danger. The sun shining was great so the waves were peaceful. Sir Ralph walked the deck To see a darker speck. Sir ralph heart was mirthful to excess and was wickedness. He felt wicked to cause a problem for other ships. Ralph bent over from the boat then cut the bell. Sir Ralph then felt powerful for causing danger to ships. Sir Ralph sailed the seas manys day after with metals. He said and said for many and many longs days. So thick in a haze the sun on the high. The night sky was so dark that Canst was scared. A wild storm passes by hitting the boat with strike. Sir Ralph ripped his hair off while the boat sinked. Ralph heard a inchcape bell ringing down below down far.

Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was why Sir Ralph cut the bell and why cause harm to the other ships. 

I found this activity fun and intresting because I had the chance to learn more about the Inchcape Rock and why it is important.
